.QUEER DEMOCRACY,

for the bold, manly and truthful editorial in its
issue OF 18th July, commenting on the manner in
which the canvass for nomination was conduct
cd, and the corrupt influences used especially for
the judgeship.
1t cannot be denied that money, whisky and per-
sistent efforts of every description were used by
so-called Democrats and Republicans The in
huence of great corporation was indirectly
sought, and with success. to bear upon those in
It's employ, and mark you, all such efforts were
mainly for the success of one of the candidates
for the judgeship.
That Judge Waters is a man of ability and has
made an honest and upright Judge Is not denied,
but when he reflects upon the influences which
were used by his friends to secure his nomination
he cannot but regret their employment and feel
that defeat would have been more honorable
than victory accomplished by such means.
Now, my friend vox Rationis. won't you agree
with me that the Democracy Of The Rgis is not
quite so queer as your own and that Of your
friends during the late canvass and at the pri-
mary election? TANEY.

The emperor of Russia is first class
cornet player. He once accompanied
Nilsson in one of her songs, and not long
ago. when singing before him. she sang
the same air, much to the qualification of
the emperor The queen of Belgium is a
devoted musician
The emperor of Brazil maintains an
Italian opera out of his own purse, and
companies in the world.
The emperor of Austria also spends over
900, 900 francs a year on the Vienna
opera house. Rossini used once to COM
pose trifling melody every year for the
king of Portugal. Everybody knows
what a passion the late king Louis of
Bavaria had for music.
King Oscar of Sweden has a magnifi-
cent basso voice, and sings like an artist.
Here are one or two interesting facts re-
speeding the taste for music in the present
sovereigns of Europe.
The emperor of Germany, for instance,
adores music, and never misses an oppor-
tunity to hear Patti or any other celeb
rity. He always goes behind the scenes
after the performance to thank the
artistic
Her majesty is also a great amateur of
music, and sings very beautifully. She
was pupil of Lablache, and he used to
say that if she was not queen of Great
Britain she might be queen of song.
The late prince consort's passion for
music is well known. He made Men,
delssohn known in England and protected
him.
The Prince of Wales is also a good
musician and the Princess of Wales is one
of Halle's best pupils. The duke of Edin-
burgh, as we all know, could earn his
living with the violin if necessary.

The Jerusalem of To-day.

The Holy City looked very prosperous
and beautiful from this point Mount o.
ivet), and the wind in the olives made a
pleasant sound; so we stood and looked.
and the sacred teachings from all our
lives came up about us whole and fair,
as they had been before we saw the
Jerusalem of to-day. A rough field lay
all about us, with scanty soil, where the
gnarled old olives. standing apart, looked
as if they had fought hard for life And
all over the place wherever nature pre-
dominated over the slight cultivation
there grew low bush-they call it
''chaparral' in Texas-it is all thorns
and gray; at least, the leaves had not yet
appeared. Everywhere they grew, these
low, thorny bushes; so it was not far
they had to seek the Masters crown.
On top of the mount there are few
dirty novels and a mosque with high
minc""t, from the top of which we had a
beauIllul view. The Dead sea. lying
blue and still, low down among its YER
dureless hills-the course of the Jordan
outlined in green-Jerusalem- Bethany
and all about the white roads winding
away among the curving hills.
Another view we had which equaled
this: 1t was from hill top on the road
to Bethlehem. From this we saw the
Dead Sea and Olivet. Jerusalem and NIiz-
pah, Bethlehem, and all the fair green
plains where still the shepherds watch
their flocks. By the time one makes the
journey to Bethlehem, however, one has
become dull and unenthusiastic. The
town is dirty and the guide talks on in
cessantly; the manger neatly finished
marble box; the Altar of the Star, the
Altar of the Innocents, the tomb of St.
Jerome and the tomb of st. Paula seem
all to be of equal value in the eyes of the
Franciscan brother who shows them to
you.-Courier-J Journal

THE GOTHAM BOYS PLEASURES.
The Most Active Agent of Destruction
Known to Modern Times.

hhoWn 10 Illness
The New York boys pleasures are
mainly of destructive and invariably of
an annoying character. In the early
spring he begins his annual campaign
with shiny stick and paving stone.
ball would be better than a stone, but
it would not smash so many windows,
nor would it damage old gentlemen 8
shins; so the boy prefers a stone.
Skinny is merely polo without the
horses. The New York boy willingly
gives up the excitement of horseback
riding for the pleasure of making the
police miserable, driving the neighbors
crazy and bankrupting house owners by
breaking area windows.
The shiny season is succeeded by the
putty blower season. The boy used to be
satisfied with passably innocent tin tube
foot long. The modern putty blower
has kept pace with the times, and is at
least two feet long. A ball of putty
started through the tube by the full
power of New York boys lungs is war
ranted to strike a man a block distant
with force enough to put him in a vio-
lent fit of rage. If the victim becomes
duently profane the boy is passably well
pleased, but if the victim is sufficiently
enraged to start after his tormentor the
boy tlees in an ecstasy of delight and an
other boy puts in few telling shots,
sure to convince the man that boys, like
hornets, are hard to fight.
A bean snapper is another instrument
dear to the youth of the metropolis Its
component parts are forked stick. two
lengths of rubber and piece of leather.
The leather will hold a good sized pebble
or shot, and the rubber will throw the
missile with the accuracy and force of a
parlor rifle. Glaciers owe the boys a
liberal percentage of their income, for
the urchins spend the greater part of the
bean snapper season in discovering how
many window and lamppost glasses they
can perforate. In the few short weeks
OF the bean snapper season few of the
elevated railroad cars escape without
holes in one or more windows.
The kite is another source of pleasure
to the boy, but the New York boy has in
vented process of kite flying which is
an endless source of comfort to him be-
cause of its annoyance and expense to
others. One would suppose the boy
would find his chief pleasure in flying
his kites, but he does not. He finds it in
hanging his kites on the telegraph wires
until messages are interrupted and gangs
of men, armed with poles, are kept busy
stripping the wires of their aerial wrecks.
1t costs the telegraph companies hun
dreds of dollars each year to counteract
the energy of the small boy.-New York
Sun.
